I mean just like the PCs value their lives, why wouldn't the NPCs value theirs. The PCs stick together even in worst situations because they are generally good. However I played an evil psion in a drow campaign and when things got nasty, I would occasionally dimension door away and use my powers from far away, maybe heal up and return to the action later. Which did not cause much of a trouble with my drow friends because they we all knew that if they were capable of such things, they would utilize it themselves.So the guys PCs fight are usually evil and unless there is a really strong bond between them, at times of near death they might be inclined to abandon their friends. If the said person is a leader of sorts, this is almost certain. So we could use this thread as a place to develop retreat strategies for intelligent enemies. They could be things like- Protect the leader (for warbands and tribes)- Simultaneous retreat (for strike teams, failed assasinations)- Tactical retreat (Large number of archers, guerilla warfare)- Going far away via magic (Arcane casters, demons, dragons etc...)- Using terrain (Swimmers, burrowers etc...)The list can be expanded and there can be variations on the specifics.Com</blockquote>
